i think i'm going to enjoy what this crowd does with this post much more than what the people at thoughts are going to do to it.

Genesis 1:1-3 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
God makes light after he makes the Earth
Scientists say some galaxies are so far away, the light travelling from them has been travelling for 13bn years, some 10bn years older than the Earth
Genesis 5: God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day
Genesis 16: God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.
How can day and night exist with no stars, Moon or Sun? How can light have been made on day 1 but the cause of light created on day 4?
Genesis 37-39: And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut tree; and pilled white strakes in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods. And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink. And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.
It is not scientifically possible to genetically change the colour of cattle’s coat using twigs and sticks.
Genesis 5: 3-6 When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth. After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. Altogether, Adam lived a total of 930 years, and then he died. When Seth had lived 105 years, he became the fatherof Enosh. After he became the father of Enosh, Seth lived 807 years and had other sons and daughters. Altogether, Seth lived a total of 912 years, and then he died.
All evidence points to prehistoric human life spans of between 25 to 40 years.
Genesis 11: 5-9: But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. The LORD said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.” So the LORD scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. 9 That is why it was called Babelbecause there the LORD confused the language of the whole world. From there the LORD scattered them over the face of the whole earth.
This story is supposedly set 2000-2500BCE however we know that various languages existed long before this date.
Numbers 22: 30. The donkey said to Balaam, “Am I not your own donkey, which you have always ridden, to this day? Have I been in the habit of doing this to you?
Donkeys cannot talk.
Leviticus 11: 13-19. These are the birds you are to regard as unclean and not eat because they are unclean:the eagle,the vulture, the black vulture, the red kite, any kind of black kite, any kind of raven, the horned owl, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk, the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl, the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey, the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe and the bat.
The bat is not a bird
Leviticus 11:6. The rabbit, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean for you.
Rabbits do not chew the cud.
Leviticus 11:20-23 - "All flying insects that walk on all fours are to be detestable to you. There are, however, some flying insects that walk on all fours that you may eat: those that have jointed legs for hopping on the ground. Of these you may eat any kind of locust, katydid, cricket or grasshopper. But all other flying insects that have four legs you are to regard as unclean."
Insects have six legs; no insect has four legs, including crickets and grasshoppers.
Why would an all-knowing God get so much wrong?

TommyTooter you're barking up the wrong tree if you are looking for an answer out of me about whether i think god is silly. i'll be glad to put your questions to the rabbis but you are venturing into a realm i don't enter.
